A charming Christmas picture book that teaches the joy of giving and points to Jesus, the greatest gift of all Badger tells the animals that he has a very special way to celebrate Christmas Day this year. He asks them to pack up the finest foods they can find and some special gifts—they are going to journey to another area of the forest for a celebration. But when they arrive, the animals are confused why they can’t begin tearing open gifts and enjoying all the foods . . . until Badger introduces them to the neighboring animals who live there and they experience the joy of sharing with those who don’t have as much. A Christmas Journey for Jesus is the follow-up to the heartwarming Christmas storybooks, A Birthday Party for Jesus, Everyone Is Invited to Christmas, and A Christmas Pageant for Jesus. Beautifully illustrated by Lee Holland, this picture book will offer young children a fun, relatable story of forest friends who discover that it is truly more blessed to give than to receive.
